Vintage Inspired Button Front Top! Simplicity 9707

Hello friends!
Today’s post is all about my floral vintage inspired top! I made this top by using Simplicity 9707, you can find it here. I was inspired to make this beautiful top after seeing a youtuber wearing a similar one. I would have never guessed in a million years that I would grow to love large floral prints. Sometimes it just take the right person to inspire you and you will quickly see the beauty!!
I was also encouraged to make this top because it is the pattern pick for the monthly Sew Your View challenge over on Instagram!
I have a really good video that I published that goes over all details and I also share my inspiration photo. If you would like to watch it, you can click here.
A full pattern review will be below the photos below.
Thanks for stopping by!!! XOXOXOXOXO
